Being a non-pilot (but a desparate wannabe) I take home approx £1650 per month (paid weekly) as a lorry driver, duty hours are 51 a week but work only for about 45, the benefits of job and knock.
Could always be more but I refuse to do overtime for the barstewards that I work for.
Hey could be worse... I could be flying for Ryanair.
